Hidden Gems Launching on Steam This Week (11th–17th of August)

As a new week comes around, it's time to take a look at all of the upcoming titles that'll be launching on Steam! There are several hundreds every week, and we take the time to look through them to find the best ones you should be keeping an eye out for!

For our Hidden Gems entry, our only criterion is that it has to have fewer than 1,000 Followers on Steam, and we pick the ones we think are going under the radar. This week, we picked out 32 titles for you to check out coming this week (at the time of writing — there might be delays over the week before their launch).
